[edit] GA Review

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   Some of the sentences under “Early Life” need to be reworked. There are three sentences in a row that all start with the same noun. Additionally, some of the prose in “Controversey and Exile” is unclear. What promises were made to Henry I and by whom? What is the significance of Ralph d'Escures? Under “Archbishop” the third sentence is woefully unclear. I’ve added tags where I think further work is needed. More information should also be added on the Battle of the Standard, giving a fuller explanation of Thurstan’s role, if at all possible.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): [[Image:|15px]]

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   Are there any images of the subject, or images of his coat of arms or episcopal seal that could be added to the article, especially to the infobox at the top?

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   On Hold pending corrections to the prose. jackturner3 (talk) 15:01, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

On the third sentence in the Controversy section, Ralph is mentioned in the first sentence. Do you want me to clarify it two sentences later that he's still the archbishop of canterbury? I've tried to reword the sentence a bit, but the whole episode is muddled in the histories, so I'm not sure how much clarity we can shine here. I THINK I've clarified the other issues, I left the clarify tags in to make things easier to find again. If I've got them clarified, could you take them out?

OK, this make a lot more sense now. I'll go ahead and promote the article and remove the clarify tags. -- jackturner3 (talk) 17:10, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
